Dubnyk and Scrivens are each 27 and set to be unrestricted free agents following the season. The Oilers reportedly retained half of Dubnyk's salary in the trade with Nashville.

Scrivens, who was traded last off-season from the Leafs to the Kings as part of the deal that sent Jonathan Bernier to Toronto, went 7-5-4 with a 1.97 goals-against average and .931 save percentage in limited action this season.

Dubnyk was once considered the present and future in goal for Edmonton, and he went into the season as the starter.

Struggles early on led to the Oilers signing veteran free agent Ilya Bryzgalov to a one-year contract. In 32 games this season, the 27-year-old Dubnyk is 11-17-2 with a 3.36 goals-against average and .894 save percentage.

Bryzgalov and Scrivens could now split duties for the rest of the season.

He's only 17 but he can see the ice so well and he moves the puck and goes to the open ice all the time, so I just think he's a player that is ready to play in the NHL. I'm really looking forward to coaching someone like this.
